Engine Looks Awful, Feels Great - 2016 Honda Civic Long-Term Road Test


We bought our new 2016 Honda Civic with the optional 1.5-liter, turbocharged engine. It may be smaller than the standard engine, but it packs some serious punch.

And yes, the 1.5T is a fantastic motor. I'm really impressed. Can't wait to drive one with a 6-speed manual!
Probably doesn't matter how ugly the modern engine bays look. Many of the people running around in Civics have no idea what's going on under the hood anyhow & for the most part that's fine. I've owned many a vehicle that required me to travel with my toolbox in the trunk. Hondas not so much.
Then the labor charge is incredible.
